In a month I will be updating this blog regularly because I will be taking summer classes. After the contest I abondanded on updates because I really had no more design work, I have just been working, relaxing and painting watercolor paintings.
This is a blog to show you the way I approach my designs and also to help me grow as an architecture student. I love feedback, even if you disagree with my process or design approach. When you, my followers, post feedback I get a different perspective and your feedback helps an emense amount.
With that being said is there anything you would like to see on this blog?
It seems to be that even while school is over I have adapted to function under less than six hours a sleep a night regularly. I am now spending my time drawing late into the night, also, I find that being a good artist is an essential component in becoming a great architect. I feel this is true because artists tend to have the eye for design/composition whether it be in a drawing, painting, rendering, or board layout. Being an artist also gives us a leg up on color selection, being that I have worked with colors, read about colors, experimented with colors gives me the experience that I feel is needed to bring a structure together.
With me I am a stickler when it comes to board layout, I change my boards twenty times before coming to my final layout but in that process I keep all of my previous layout designs saved under a different name, I do this because can take elements out of these failed layouts and incorporate them into my final board or I come back around to the old layouts and reevaluate what was my process behind this idea after not seeing the board for a day or so, things tend to become bland after looking at the same layout for hours on end. In the end I feel that this process works well for me because I had the time to look at the juxtaposition of the board, tweak or completely change it to my liking loving and come out with a well developed board design. As an artist I tend to pay attention to the small detail and being an artist has helped me understand the process of doing projects in studio tenfold.
